    "We're well aware that tensions are running high between the two groups of fans"

    They are? Has something happened which I have missed? I thought it was just a football match against a local rival. What tensions are running high?

    It's an abysmal statement

    Act first, justify it later.

    I suppose our current form and league position have made it a bigger game than it would have been but other than that...?

    Might just mean tension over the points, if there is a loser then it's going to cause a bit of emotion which could boil over. We lose and we're in a bigger battle with the teams around us, they lose and their form (if it continues) puts them out of the play-offs in a few weeks.

    If the away fixture is owt to go by, the police's attitude was as if it was an Old Firm game. Way over the top.

    - Our biggest game against them for years.
    - Both fighting for a play off spot at the back end of the season.
    - Our supporters reputation this year.
    - Them having one of the nastiest mobs about when they turn out.
    - Biggest crowd at Oakwell in over 4 years.
    - Early kick off
    - Penny Black in the 90's and 200 of them knocking on KGV pub door at 9am before a fixture 10 years ago.

    Aye, l'll say they've got it spot on.

    ............ hence every bobby in the area is getting loads of overtime for HAVING TO WORK Bank Holiday weekend ........... oh and we will nick quite a lot as well to justify the extortionate cost of it all.

    At least some of em might earn their money on Saturday, unlike when the 500 of em turned out for the 200 Port Vale fans

    Sounds simple but this a problem that's been with us for the last 40 years with no signs of going away

    Sad but true

    I've never had that tbf. I'll give it full bore for 90 mins, but once the final whistle goes, i'll just go home. I might get pissed off at the game, or the players, or the ref, or whatever. But never enters my head to want to hit a complete stranger

    Chris Morgan happened. Most fans wil just go and enjoy the game but the minority who want to cause trouble have a ready made excuse, not that they need one.
